Had the French dip ciabatta and it was so good. Only complaint was there were way too many onions in the broth dip. Went in post lunch time so no wait at counter, food came out nice and hot and it was pretty quiet inside. read more

Panera Bread - Mac and cheese - Soup Near Me - Destin, Florida

Absolutely my favorite spot when i'm not craving to cook at home. One of the guys, i believe his name is Anton; was such a sweetheart and has such a bubbly personality! Positive energy and the employees were also fast and hard working! Love to see it read more

I have never had a negative experience at this location. The staff is always incredibly kind. The food always comes out right. The absolutely radiant young woman with blonde hair at the drive through is such a delight. She absolutely made my day! read more

I want to give a big shout out to Billi, manager of Panera Bread in Destin. I had ordered through uber Eats and my soup was left out of my order. I explained I'd tried to contact uber but no luck. The package had been sealed when I received it, and the receipt stated I'd payed for the soup. Instead of me having to try to get another uber eats to get it for me, Billi brought it to me herself! Along with a brownie and a card for a Pick 2 complimentary! From the initials on the receipt Billi could tell it was packed by a brand new trainee on their first day, so all is forgiven. Also, what a great attitude and helpful spirit! So, thank you, Billi! And go get some of their yummy soup, it's definitely the weather for it!!! read more

They served me broccoli and cheddar soup with meat in it. Asked for them to remake and it came out with more chicken in it. As a vegetarian that's pretty disrespectful. No one is up front to even take orders so you have to use the computer. After telling them they should dump the soup and remake it for the next guest they laughed and called me "bro" they all act like children and are very rude. It was a inconvenience for THEM to do their job. The kid told me that they keep the broccoli cheddar soup right next to the chicken noodle soup and that "sometimes chicken gets in" and later that he didn't see any chicken even though I had placed the chicken in my soup on a napkin for them to see. Very disrespectful. They only refunded me $3.50 which makes no sense because we paid over $8 for the meal. Can't do basic math and can't follow simple instructions. read more

Can't go wrong with Panera. My go to is the chicken apple salad, but the sandwiches are so good and the service is really fast there.

The food is not very good at this location and the drive through line is incredibly slow. But I want to address discrimination, blatant ADA violation that I experienced today at this store while eating my breakfast sandwich in my car legally parked with plackard displayed. I am handicapped and retired. The female manager (overweight, probably 40ish) came out to my car and told me to eat out back by trash can or leave or she'd have me trespassed because other customers (allegedly) didn't want me there as no one wanted to see an "old handicapped woman" as "It's bad for business." I asked why, what was different with me, since other customers hang around for hours. She refused to explain. I am a retired university professor. I never spoke to anyone or disturbed anyone in any way. And no one deserves to be treated. In such a demeaning, humiliating way. I am only giving the restaurant a one star in order to post the review. read more

I just had an iced americano, it tasted like iced water. Absolutely didn't taste like coffee I don't know how come.... This is my first time drinking something like this. I wish the person who took my order had a more positive attitude or smiled maybe. I'm a foreigner and i needed a second to understand the menu and ask what is what to my boyfriend. I rushed to order because she didn't seem happy waiting for me i felt so uncomfortable. I don't know maybe she was having a bad morning or maybe my imagination but i even told my bf i think she hates me. Bagel was good, cinnamon bun was ok. Coffee was HORRIBLE. But the girl at the right side (she had dark hair) was really nice and cute. Worst $22 i ever spent though read more

Absolutely the slowest drive thru I've ever experienced in over 40 years of driving. Truly something to behold. And after being in the drive thru line for 25 minutes (with only 5 or 6 cars), the iced tea I ordered turned out to be iced coffee, despite my receipt showing iced tea. YUCK read more

Trouble is the music very loud and it makes the people talk very loud. Makes it difficult to have conversations read, or think.

Over the last 10 days, so shall I have ordered for full-size Caesar salad's. They have always served me one half salad. What the heck is going on? And today I received a filthy fork! Everybody best check your orders and your utensils I don't think they're cleaning very well. read more

Panera Bread - Soup Near Me - Destin, Florida

After visiting the Santa Rosa beach location with only cash.. (you can only order on the kiosk after 8 pm * for Togo only) at 8:15 pm on 7/17/2021, I had to go to the Destin location (15 minutes further away) and waited in the drive through for the person to talk... watched a white newer model Jeep in front of me order and pull forward so I thought this wouldn't be an issue. Apparently Panera bread doesn't close at 9! It closes when the employees and manager decides to close. This wouldn't be an issue if I hadn't already been sitting in the drive through for the last 11 minutes! I pray the manager loses WiFi at home and steps in dog poo regularly. And for the "drive thru girl" you are a grown woman act like it. The pandemic doesn't give you permission to be a crap human being... read more

Great location for shopping but not on New Year's Eve. I figured I would catch a movie and grab some food from a yummy restaurant. Not really an option on this side of the area. most of the restaurants are closed which is what brings me here. Not sure which is more sad, me eating Panera's for dinner on New Year's Eve or me going to a movie alone on the same day. Doubly it would seem. But to be fair let me review the location. Clean, roomy especially empty like now. Staff is friendly and helpful. I ordered end the 1/2 Frontera chicken and Fuji salad. I tried the included dressing but didn't much like it but asked for BBQ Ranch and it complemented it perfectly. The meal wasn't complete without their presweetened Green Tea. They also do free refills so no point in really going with the large glass for dining in house. Well off to my movie. Enjoy... read more

Panera Bread - Fuji Apple salad with 1/2 Frontera Chicken sandwich. BBQ Ranch on salad FTW!!! - Soup Near Me - Destin, Florida

This Panera is brand new. Has the service of once you order they bring it to you. Bakery items are spread out and look delicious. The set up of the inside looks cleaner with good vibes. I haven't gone through drive thru yet but it is definitely narrow. This is located on same side as Publix. Food was good and the customer service was on point. **Bathrooms were clean*** read more

Ordered delivery at 6:15ish pm, said it would be here about 7pm. Driver calls to let me know he will be late, okay no problem. 7:30 my app says driver has arrived, after about 10 minutes I call the store and they say the driver couldn't find the building so he returned to the store. Even though myself and the driver spoke two separate times. No call to say they couldn't find it, no update on the app to say it was canceled, nothing. So I'm just sitting in my house like a freak waiting for food that wasn't even going to be delivered anyways. I wouldn't be so annoyed if I didn't live less than a mile from the store. Don't offer delivery service if you're not capable of delivery. I love Panera but I will never order from this one again. read more

Panera Bread - This isn't true. - Soup Near Me - Destin, Florida

We have been waiting 30 mins for a rapid to go order and no one else is in the store! It's a panera and how long does it take to make a salad and a grilled cheese? read more

They took a hour just to get a sandwich out to us and they were not even busy not to mention the guy was picking his nose on the job.

Just went in for something small to hold us over until dinner. No one was behind the counter but two employees were working close by. One of the employees walked over to the register we were at - didn't say a word to us - not hello, not someone will be right with you, not a smile, nothing. We left. Panera is overpriced but I still try to support them occasionally but I'm not going to support rude. read more

Every time I come here and order a panini, (I've given it 3 chances) it looks like they just literally slung the ingredients sloppily on the bread(or just completely miss the bread.) its obviously very unappetizing looking, and I shouldn't have to re assemble my sandwich, I work in a kitchen but that's unacceptable. read more

I was the only customer in the shop and the cook finished my order, started cleaning the grill but would not hand me my food. And the order was wrong. No apologies. The whole crew SUCKS. I will never go to a Panera again, because this is not the only location that fails at basic customer service. read more

I have been eating Panera for 20 years and I love the food they serve which is why I continue to order there. This Destin location is by far the worst and sadly it's the closest one to us. I try to give the staff the benefit of the doubt, but this is now our 5th order that wasn't accurate. I ordered for our family of 6 (every time I order it's a rather large order) however, their recipes even states "accuracy matters" but clearly it doesn't. The amount of food items were correct but DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO PUT CUSTOMIZATION on your order it's like the staff doesn't even look. We don't often remove anything from the menu items but sometime add a sauce or spinach to the sandwiches. I prefer dressings on the side when I'm taking salads to go and I always ask for utensils and napkins. Unfortunately, this occurrence today was no different than the last 4...none of our add-ins were included on our sandwiches, no bread bowl for our soup, no utensils, no dressings on the side and it is very frustrating. Additionally, the order always takes 20-30 minutes over the time given through the app. The lady brought us a single cookie for our wait, but I would much rather wait for a correct order than receive the cookie. Lastly, there is no option to leave a review via phone or website for feedback/concern so here I am on yelp! PLEASE verify orders before making them and sending them to your customers. read more

Horrible experience! Cashier wore the same gloves for ringing up our order, getting our scones, and brushing back her hair - then taking the next person's order One cashier only. I don't know who designed the bathroom but the feminine product disposal container is directly next to the commode in a very narrow stall so that you can't sit fully on the seat and there's no way to avoid fully sitting against the disposal container. read more

I used to think Panera Bread was just a bakery, so I took a long time to finally check this place out. Finally getting here, I discovered that they have delicious sandwiches and soups. Today, I had a roast beef sandwich and french onion soup and I enjoyed each bite. The only problem I seem to have is that I forget that they use horseradish in their standard dressing, and I HATE horseradish. Its not listed on the menu and I always forget to tell them not to put it on there. So, if you also hate horseradish, watch out! BOTTOM LINE: Awesome soups and sandwiches... a perfect lunch stop. read more

Panera Bread - A deliciously cold and refreshing car carbonated beverage. - Soup Near Me - Destin, Florida

I have only been disappointed once...never get the oatmeal. I don't think they have anyone order it often because my oatmeal was prepared with the TOMATO quinoa instead of plan. Other than that, it's Panera bread! Simple Comfort food. read more

Not sure if it's been because I haven't had Panera in awhile or not, but the service and food was outstanding.

Usually Panera is one of my favorite places to grab a bite. Today was a disappointment. Got my standard order of a French onion soup in a bread bowl, and got the 'small' mac & cheese for my date. The total was just shy of $20 and the manager was the one who took the order. We weren't given a buzzer to know when the order was ready, so had to watch the pickup area like a hawk for when it was ready. Order was made in a timely manner, but the soup was barely half full. What made it worse is that the small mag and cheese was not small but -tiny-! There was more soup in my bowl before I asked for it to be topped up! $5 for 6 bites worth of pretty average mac n cheese is really bad. So, won't be ordering that ever again. read more

It's Panera. Plenty of choices for food, snacks, and drinks. The menu here is nothing new. The employees have all been friendly and helpful. Their Strawberry Poppyseed Salad is my go-to. My husband recently got the chicken tortellini - very good but I'd skip the cat food like chicken they threw on top. This location is nice and big. Located in The Commons. Nothing exciting and crazy - just dependably good food that is a couple of steps above typical fast food. read more

Panera Bread - 1/2 Strawberry Poppyseed To-Go. My favorite salad! I always get two dressings even with the 1/2 size. So good, and packed with fruit. - Soup Near Me - Destin, Florida

4 Healthy Choices, like this place, especially when I am going into a lighter direction. The price can definitely get high if you not paying attention to the register. I love their soups and the bread is so fresh. Their green tea is soo refreshing. My son likes their grill cheese and fruit. It's not my must eat now choice but it is good food when I remember to stop by. :D read more

This review is about the customer service. The food was of the same quality that I expect from Panera. I ordered food for my family via the drive-through. When we drove back to our house, we took out all the food and noticed that we were missing a sandwich. I immediately called them and spoke to one of the managers (I think his name was Brian). They said they would send a gift card to our address since it wasn't convenient for us to drive back in dinner-time Destin traffic. I waited a couple weeks and never got anything in the mail so I called again and spoke to Brian. He apologized and said he gave it to one of his co-workers to mail and it must not have gotten done so he would mail it off personally. I waited another couple weeks and nothing came. read more

They never have enough people working!! The slowness isn't the staffs fault, they're just so severely understaffed. Definitely don't go here if you're looking for fast food before work :( read more

Waited in the drive-through for over 30 minutes for my food awls I ordered was the tortellini. I would've left but the way they're set up you can't get out of their drive-through once you're in it. Won't go back there again read more

Good food. Worker didn't know the difference between a cold brew and a frappe. Really disappointed by that.

I've got to add a star, I am clearly a fan as much as I come here. Still, they are inconsistent in portion sizes and quality so no 5 stars...Staff is always pleasant and it's clean! The Panera Club card is cool too, I've received lots of free goodies and reward discounts. read more

Friendly staff. Subdued environment. Preferred the old location in Destin Commons. Much more convenient and nicer dining areas.

This is one of the worst Paneras I've been to. Friendly service, dirty store. Lettuce was brown and wilted. Sunday afternoon...maybe a one off, but not impressed. read more
